    The MDA rules are pretty IP friendly. If you win the contest, you get 15% royalties. If you don't win, all intellectual property rights are returned to you.

    see
    http://mydreamapp.com/about/rules/

    "7. Ownership of Submissions. (I) When You send MDA your submission, You are assigning MDA all rights and interests - including all intellectual property rights - in the Submission, and MDA shall be the absolute owner of all rights and interests therein; (II) IF A SUBMISSION IS NOT ACCEPTED BY MDA, YOU RETAIN TITLE TO ALL RIGHTS AND INTERESTS, INCLUDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN THE SUBMISSION. IF A SUBMISSION IS ORIGINALLY ACCEPTED BY MDA, BUT LATER REJECTED, ALL RIGHTS AND INTERESTS, INCLUDING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, IN THE SUBMISSION WILL BE RELEASED TO YOU; and (III) All MDA products and all intellectual property and other rights are the property of MDA, regardless of whether a Submission has been incorporated into them. You acknowledge and agree that You have no property rights or license to any MDA products, including MDA products that may come into Your possession in the course of performing work for MDA."

    I personally think the concept is flawed. The whole groupthink 'vote for your dream app' approach rewards flashy, well-pitched ideas that may or may not result in a saleable or useful app.

    I also think it trivialises the rest of the application development process by only focusing on ideas. If you read some of the app descriptions, you get a good picture of how the author started the contest with the kernel of what's probably a decent idea, then embarked headlong on an MSWord-worthy feature bloating exercise with nary a thought of what will sell & what it will cost to build. Real application development involves trade-offs and targeted feature sets, not pie-in-the-sky thought experiments.

    But I could just be bitter because Desktop Wars was voted out - I would have bought that one.

    A worm for OS X call SmugWiper. It does nothing more than fly a plane across the screen every few minutes with a Samuel L. Jackson clip playing from the movie where he calmly states that he's not happy about all of these unpleasant snakes.
